Keep your account secure

At Google, we take account security very seriously. To protect your account, we strongly recommend following the steps below regularly, especially if you notice changes to your account that you didn’t make.

Always sign out of your account. Just click your name or email address at the top of the page, and select Sign out.

Clear forms, passwords, cache, and cookies in your browser on a regular basis.

Note: You should perform these steps more frequently if you begin to notice suspicious behavior in your computer, such as general slowness and pop-up advertisements. For more tips about online safety, visit Google's Safety Center.
